Hurricane Laura is predicted to strengthen as it moves through the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to impact Entergy Arkansas customers starting Thursday. We are prepared for severe weather and working to ensure we have the people, crews and resources ready to respond to outages quickly and safely, while practicing social distancing measures needed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the additional measures our crews must take, restoration may take longer, especially where there are widespread outages. We recommend customers prepare as well.

Potential Tropical Weather Event

Current forecasts show Marco passing south of Louisiana on Tuesday as a weakening tropical storm. Laura is predicted to make landfall in southwest Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane late Wednesday.

Tropical Storms Laura and Marco could affect the Entergy service territory and its customers this week. We encourage you tofinalize your preparationsas these storms approach. Two simultaneous systems in the Gulf of Mexico is a rare occurrence. But because Entergy response personnel stay storm-ready year-round, and we have experience facing back-to-back threats, we are ready to safely and quickly restore service to our customers whose power may be disrupted.

At Entergy, community means everything to us. Our neighbors, our family, our home.
